A Disastrous Ride.

Some little drops of water,
Whose home was In the sea,
To go upon journey
Once happened to agree.
A cloud they had for carriage,
They drove a playful breeze,
And over town and country
They rode along at ease.
But oh there were so many
At last the carriage broke,
And to the ground came tumbling
These frightened little folk.
And through the moss and grasses
They were compelled to roam,
Until brooklet found them
And carried them all home.

AS the work Is OF delicate nature-for
each feather Of the plume has to bs
worked upon separately-it is necessary
that only expert hands should be em-
ployed. Carelessness or want Of expert
ence would soon cause heavy losses, for
the beauty of plumes is heightened by
tho evenness Of every little feather. Il

Concerning Drilled Wells

A drilled well should be made deep,
that it may hold considerable water If
not, it may too easily be pumped dry.
Moreover, the fine sand, generally
present, works its way, not only filling
up the lower end Of the casing, but
when the pump pipe is set low. and is
pumping fast, some of the fine sand
will be pumped up, and lodge in the
valve, soon causing the valve to stay
partly open, so that the pump will not
hold water, but must be primed for a
new start. If the well be drilled deep
after water is first reached, space can
be allowed for filling up, and the pump
pipe need not be placed so near the
bottom. But there is less danger of
filling up if the well be thoro ughly
cleansed or pumped out after being
sunk to the proper depth. This work
properly belongs to the men who drill
the we'll, and should never be omitted.
A great deal of the floating sediment,
if not reno we'd then and there. will be
source of trouble ever afterward.
